If you top shots, most likely you are standing up as you strike the ball. Ideally, you want to keep the same angle your torso and legs formed at address position the same throughout your swing. Many high-handicappers stand up (straighten their legs or lift their torsos) as the they strike the ball resulting in an array of bad shots including thin and topped shots, pulls and slices. If you take a look at professionals, you will see that they keep their spine angle through out their swing and even many squat down as they strike the ball.

Off-Course Golf Fitness Tip-Spinal Rotators

The Spinal Rotators exercise can facilitate a more effective turn and help you increase clubhead speed for more distance.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Extend your arms straight out to the side as shown.

Slowly lower your legs to one side, trying to touch the ground with your bottom knee and hold position for 8 to 10 counts.

Try to keep both shoulders flat on the floor. Don’t let your shoulders raise off the ground.

Return to the start position and repeat on the opposite side.

Alternate rotating bent legs from side to side for 8 to 10 repetitions on both sides.
